2003 Johann Donabaum Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Berglage Loiben
Thursday, December 13, 2007
We are down to 5 Austrian wines and I decided that it was time to open another one. This time around it was the 2003 Johann Donabaum Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Berglage Loiben. If you are not familiar with Grüners they are a similar to Sauvignon Blancs but are only grown in Austria. This one has hints of mineral and green apple with a some pear and pepper on the finish. What really suprised me was how rich and creamy this wine was. I expected a bone dry and clean white that would be a bit acidic but I was definitely wrong. Unfortunately Winemonger is out of this wine but they still have plenty of others for you to enjoy.
